plopesresearch · x · 2026-11-02
Researcher plopesresearch demos two new #UIST2026 papers in a single setup:
- Cold illusion device: makes a person feel cold away from the actual cooling device, with thermal imaging used to record the effect;
- RingIO: a smart ring you control by touch, with haptic feedback you can feel.
More interaction demos are linked in the thread—a fun showcase from the HCI research community.
